Since I can’t figure out how to write under each picture I’ll describe the pictures down here. The first shot is the couch that I had to look and search for and finally had custom built. I made the lavender pillows on the couch and the ones behind those too, to match the table runner. I also made the window curtains. I wanted them just so…so I made them myself!
The second picture is of the wing chair that Don and I upholstered ourselves. (and will never, ever, do again). It was a tremendous job and we could only do about an hour’s worth of work each night because we had not a clue of what we were doing. It turned out really fine, considering.
The picture on the stand I watercolored of a scene in France. I loved my trips to France and like to incorporate personal things into my decorating.
Here is the mantle. We have a huge stone fireplace in the living room and I made the large arrangement above the mantle.
The table by the window is one of the few things that I got that belonged to my mother. On the table is a framed article from the Victoria magazine that I had published this year. I also made the flower arrangement..these are my favorite flowers.
On the shelf that my father built for me is my collection of milk glass and small vases and a Danish Christmas plate that my friend Yrsa gave me.
This is the entertainment center which was our first large purchase of furniture after the boys completed college. All my family photos are on the left and on the right (out of sight) is our collection of cut glass.
This is a shot of the French doors leading out to the Jacuzzi room.
And the last is of the living room again. I hope you liked the tour.
